Progress in self-expanding metallic ureteral stent in the treatment of ureteral stricture in renal allografts / 器官移植

Ureteral stricture in renal allografts is one of the common postoperative complications in kidney transplant recipients. Due to short ureter in renal allografts, endovascular treatment should be adopted before reconstruction surgery to avoid irreversible injury. Alleviating renal allograft injury, easing obstruction or establishing drainage channel are the key measures to treat ureteral stricture. In endovascular treatment, balloon dilatation and internal incision yield high recurrence rate, and long-term indwelling of self-expanding metallic ureteral stents may be a better option. Compared with traditional stents, metallic stents may maintain urinary tract patency for a long time and mitigate the irritation of lower urinary tract symptoms,with different indications and efficacy. Although all metallic stents may be displaced and occluded, it still plays a positive role in the treatment of ureteral stricture in renal allografts. In this article, the application of self-expanding metallic ureteral stent in ureteral stricture of renal allografts was mainly illustrated, aiming to provide reference for optimizing the treatment of ureteral stricture in renal allografts.

The mechanism of PDEF inhibit invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer cells with down-reg uLated HIF-1α / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the mechanism that PDEF inhibition the invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer cells by down-reg uLated HIF-1α. Methods PEDF and PBS as the experimental group and control group were add to the c uLture medium of human prostate cancer cell line (PC3), the wound healing and transwell experiment were carried out to observed the ability of invasion and metastasis. And HIF-1α expression was detect by RT-QPCR. ResuLts The res uLts of wound healing and transwell showed that PEDF inhibit the ability of invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer. PEDF down-reg uLated the expression of HIF-1α. Conclusions PEDF inhibit the invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer by down-reg uLated the expression of HIF-1α.It will be the new target of tumor intervention and for the treatment of prostate cancer and other malignant tumors to provide adequate scientific basis and efficient drug candidates.
